Vitality score

Vitality score 19.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 61 % of the 15,549 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the DESVRES weather station, 12.9 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 65 m. ^[11]

The village sits 120 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DESVRES, 12.9 km away at 185 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 120 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,021 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ATTIN, 8.8 km away at 21 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

18 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 145,832 € — 1,616 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Pas-de-Calais is 1,534 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
